low pH problems
Grrrowerstarted grow question 5 years ago
I discovered that I had irrigated with water at pH 3.5 for at least 5 days.
yesterday I used water at pH 5.7 and today I think it will increase to 6, but I noticed that burns are already starting to appear so should I continue like this and hope for the best or do a root wash?

I think the only way to know is to check the runoff when watering and see what PH it gives you.. if it's in an ok range, then just leave it (don't try to compensate), as the damage was done and you don't want to push it the other direction, possibly making it worse.. the marks on the leaves will not recover, but check the new growth to ensure that this is fine moving forward.
If you're in soil, i'd rather err on the higher side, so around 6.3, as 5.7/5.8 is more for hydroponics..

Hi I would flush the whole thing to make sure :-). Adjust the Ph and Ec value of the water and rinse it :-) to luck you have it right on time :-)

damage was done, so you could expect some minor burning. As long as you adjust the ph, all should be grand. In soil growing the pH is getting alkaline with the drying of the soil between watering. That is why you have to water well until you get a run off in the tray, to flush out the alkalinity from the middle of the root ball. Don't get over stressed about the pH in the water or to have it at just the right value. Plant will do just fine with water pH 7.

Grow LightsIs it okay to use an LED Light 1000 watt (4x4x80" tent) & a UV Light 1000 Watt in a 4x4x80" grow tent for 3 plants. I want more light, I have plants growing slowly so I'm hoping to adjust the amount of light I have would speed up their growth. LED is white spectrum & UV blue-vegLeaves. Tips - Burnt
